Finished painting of St Paul de Vence

Well, I think this one is done, just needs to be signed now. I had a bit of trouble getting the foreground right but I think it works ok.

Let me know what you think.

Oil on canvas board, 16x12in. Price still to be set. I'll probably frame this too.

Work in progress

I'm currently working on a view of St Paul de Vence (near Nice). I feel the greenery will prove challenging...

One down, one (or more) to go.

I think I've just finished my cafe scene (well, I signed it!). Next up is the picture of Guildford Castle from the castle grounds.

I'll post a picture of the cafe scene once I get round to taking a photo...

Now how does this picture upload thingy work...

Well, here's a view of my latest painting (other than the one on my easel at the moment!). What do you think? It's from a photo I took at Snowshill Manor in the Cotswolds earlier in the year.

"Something got me started"

Well, I managed to get some painting time on Bank Holiday Monday as expected. I've started a picture that shows the railway viaduct outside Haywards Heath in a landscape, rather like some of the Victorian painters. However, given my style, this will be much less detailed showing more of an impression than the actuality.

Watch this space for more updates and maybe even a photo of the work in progress.

Talking pf photos, I tried to buy a new camera on Sunday (well, it was raining!) but the shop was out of stock! Bah-humbug :-)

What's next?

I hope to get some quality painting time in over the Bank Holiday weekend but have still to decide on a subject.

A while ago, I took some photos of the railway viaduct outside Haywards Heath in Sussex. It makes a good subject in the landscape, so I expect that's what I'll paint.
